My experience of long ago
I hardly talk to people, as a teenager I kept to myself. Even when I had an ugly experience while growing up, I still could not bring myself up to tell it to anyone, not even my mother. I was the head girl both in primary and secondary school, I was very quiet and they took me for a gentle girl not knowing I was going through a lot and just could not discuss it with anyone.
I did not believe in myself, all I did was to cry when I'm alone and quickly clean up the tears once someone was approaching. I lived like this until February 2022 when I met my father in the Lord and mentor (late Prophet Isaac Okpoko of blessed memory) , I opened up to him and I thought I was going to receive great rebuke and condemnation like others would do.
But to my greatest surprise he smiled and encouraged me, prayed for me, checked up on me and he helped me build confidence in myself gradually. Whenever I'm depressed, I will quickly call him like he has the antidote, and he truly has the antidote. Looking at the late musician MOHBAD, he had great potential but still did not believe in himself.
He asked his friend questions like; "will people listen to my song?" "will my song be recognized?" It was very much a sad knowledge that he couldn't fight back being bullied as it was communicated. He wanted commiting suicide after suffering a great depression. Introverts do not talk to people about their their personal life, unless you force words out of their mouth, they battle with low self esteem.
Aand sometimes depression, they don't share their burden with people and when they eventually do, what they need is not condemnation but motivation, care and words of encouragement. Please let's be our brothers' keeper. When you see people who are always quiet, ask them questions, check up on them, show them love. Till they can confide in you.
You will be shocked when you eventually realize what they were passing through. Also parents, don't be too rigid on your children, play with them, ask them questions, be their friend, so they can confide in you. This right here that I just addressed is something that has happened to a lot of people and I believe a lot of people have been a victim.
for ame it did not end well and seeing how my information can help has brought me here to making this very publishing. Just so that someone out there will be conscious about this piece of information because i believe alot is happening in the world we live and people that gets to understand this information will likely spread it so it finds it's way more people to help life's.
